Chapter 1221: New Life (Seventy-Seven)
It seems that I will not be "alone" this time, and with their help, I have more confidence in my next actions.
Not only is the winding road to the summit steep, but the condition of the road has become so bad that I can barely see where to land, so I can only clear the obstacles in front of me as I walk up.
It's not a way to go on like this, because the progress is too slow, and the children I saw just now who were resurrected are already quite fast, and they don't have such a roadblock to stop them, and it is estimated that it will not be long before they succeed in reaching the top.
I told the other first test subjects about the stakes, and the children began to use their energy to move things out of their way.
Although it took a bit of effort, after all, the number of people was here, and the speed of our actions was finally up a notch.
Even so, it took us more than ten minutes to reach the summit, and we thought we would encounter more obstacles, such as the giant babies or resurrected children, and the attack of strange birds, but when I came up, I realized that the summit was actually calm.
......
It's over?
Of course not, because the clouds above us were still there, and as I saw before, the clouds were getting even lower, and now they were almost at the top......!
I immediately ordered the other first-generation test subjects around me to quickly search the surrounding area, trying not to let go of any suspicious energy creatures.
I ran straight to the starting point of the cable car at the southern end of the summit.
The starting point of the cable car here was built in an extremely thrilling way, almost half-suspended from the side of the peak, and to my surprise, there was no trace of damage at the starting point here, and I didn't see any corpses of energy creatures around.
Similarly, the other children who were responsible for searching for the energy creatures in the surrounding area soon returned, saying that nothing had been found.
You must know that the scope of this peak is actually quite small, and you can almost see everything when you stand in the middle and look around, and now that they haven't found it, it means that at least our surroundings are absolutely safe now.
Well...... Could it be that the resurrected children and other energy creatures I saw just now didn't come up? What are they holding back?
This seems unlikely, because there is Qianqian's consciousness, I believe that any obstruction is not a problem, then the only explanation is that Qianqian temporarily changed her hexagram, and she urgently sent those energy creatures to another position!
Seeing that the surroundings were fine for the time being, and that the clouds above us were continuing to decrease, at least they hadn't hit us yet, I asked a small child to hurry down and inform the Moon Spirit to speed up.
As soon as the little boy had left, I suddenly saw a large fire about a kilometer or two from the foot of the peak.
The location of the fire is still covered with forests, but I know very well that these forests have nothing to do with the fire, because judging from the burning path of these flames and the air fluctuations above the flames, it is clear that they are Gu fires!
So far, the people I have seen who can skillfully manipulate these Gu fires are some highly qualified Burmese Gu masters, except for the voodoo himself.
However, now these swift Gu fires are desperately rushing towards the clouds in the air, and it looks like they are obviously going to attack Qianqian's energy, and this part of the voodoo members who attacked the Qinhuai Mountains are controlled by Qianqian, so I have reason to believe that these Gu fires are definitely not done by the voodoo sect, but ...... Burmese Gu Master!
These Burmese Gu masters were under the orders of Zhao Youkuang, I originally thought that they had been completely wiped out in the previous underground conflict, but I didn't expect that they would be able to organize such a powerful counterattack.
The scope of these Gu fires is still expanding rapidly, almost reaching the size of three or four football fields, which can be called a sea of fire.
To be honest, although I have seen all kinds of people use Gu Fire many times, and even I myself often use Gu Fire Guns, it is really the first time I have seen such a large group of Gu Fire, it is simply a little scary!
With so many Gu fires, the number of Gu Masters who mobilized them would definitely not be too small, and judging from the scope alone, I would dare to conclude that there were no less than fifty people.
It seems that these Burmese Gu Masters have also been threatened with death by Qianqian's energy, so they have no choice but to resist, and these Gu fires do seem to have caused a powerful disturbance to the clouds in the sky, because I can now see that the height of the clouds is starting to return!
So...... It seems reasonable that those energy creatures before have disappeared, and it is likely that they were sent by Qianqian to attack the Burmese Gu masters.
In this way, it has bought us a lot of time, and I feel that although Qianqian's energy influence is terrifying, her attention to me and the moon spirit does not seem to have reached the point of dying, maybe we are not important in her eyes?
According to the theory of the "consciousness body" that I learned before, Qianqian's thoughts are only all she had at the last moment before she died, so ...... She may not know me at all, but she must have a deep memory of the Moon Spirit, not to mention anything else, the time when the Moon Spirit abandoned and betrayed her was enough to make Qianqian hold a grudge, so it seemed normal for her to be so tight on the Moon Spirit now.
So it seems...... Didn't the moon spirit burden me?
But it's still the same sentence before, although I have a thousand things about the moon spirit, but as long as it comes to the critical moment, I still won't give up on her no matter what.
At this time, the little child who delivered the message had already carried the moon spirit up with the other four people, and I found that although the moon spirit's face had not changed for the better, at least it had not worsened further.
After Yue Ling climbed to the peak, she finally saw the large Gu fire just now from the south, and it seemed that she was also quite surprised by this, her mouth was wide open, and she couldn't close it for a long time.
"They're not dead yet!" Moon Ling said, smacking her lips.
Listening to the meaning of Yue Ling's words, she should have done a black hand to these Burmese Gu Masters before, otherwise it would be impossible to say such a thing.
"What now?" I asked, "The impact range of these Gu fires is just close to the path of the cable car, is it dangerous to cross it?"
"No!" Yue Ling said categorically: "First of all, the target of these Gu masters is not us, and secondly, Gu Huo will not lose non-Gu creatures to cause too much impact, not to mention that our cable car is not a creature at all, and neither is the cable! These Gu fires look fierce, but the main impact is still Qianqian! We just took this opportunity to hurry away! If we are lucky, after finding Amy in the first place, we may be able to return in the same way!"
I nodded, and said in my heart, without further ado, the ghost knows how long the Gu fire of those Burmese Gu Masters can last, once they can't support it and are eaten by Qianqian's energy, then we will face a situation where our lips are dead and our teeth are cold.
At the starting point of the cable car, three gondolas can be opened at the same time, and Moon Spirit and I took the first of the four original test subjects who were responsible for carrying Moon Spirit to the first one, and the remaining two were ridden separately by the other children.
The speed of the cable car is very fast, and it seems that the first generation of test subjects have not ridden this kind of transportation, and they even know how to fine-tune the speed of the cable car to maximize the speed.
In less than a few minutes, we approached the center of the Gu Fire impact, and I hurriedly looked down to see that a ball of Gu Fire was burning towards my face.
Although it is said that the cable car will not be affected, but I am a serious "Gu thing", the Gu fire still hurts me quite a lot, I hurriedly dodged it sideways, and this Gu fire is still bad, and my cheeks flew over.
I felt as if my cheek had been scratched by some sharp object, and there was a huge pain, and when I touched it with my hand, I was surprised to find that this Gu fire had left a deep wound on my face, and the inside of the wound was still beating faintly.
I was taken aback, because this Gu Fire didn't seem to be the same as what I had encountered before, and I hadn't been sprayed by the Gu Fire once or twice, and my skin didn't leave any traces except for the intense burning sensation at that time. However, this time the Gu Fire was completely different from the previous ones, not only did it have a burning and severe pain, but it also directly left me with a wound! I even wondered if I had been stabbed by an extremely fast sword just now!
The Moon Spirit saw my condition as well, and I saw her nod at a first-generation test subject next to her, and the kid immediately covered my face with her hand.
I knew he couldn't have attacked me, so I didn't dodge, and then I felt another sharp pain in my wound, and I was about to scream when I saw him pull out of my wound a bug about two inches long.
However...... This insect is quite thin, almost as thin as a hair, and this insect is actually still translucent, under the double "cover" of air and Gu fire, I can hardly see it.
No wonder I left wounds myself, it turned out that there were some such strange insects mixed in these Gu fires.
"Is this a Gu worm?" I asked hurriedly.
Moon Ling nodded.
"Since it's a Gu worm, how can it be possible to survive in the Gu fire!" I said.
"These Gu worms are all insects that are full of anger, and the Burmese Gu masters use them to mix them with the Gu fire, which can greatly prolong the burning time and intensity of the Gu fire. Yue Ling said: "They were originally going to be burned to death, but they happened to be bumped into by you, and this Gu worm got into your face......
I secretly scolded for being unlucky, and said in my heart that it was no wonder that the Gu Fire I saw before was so strong, and the tricks of these Burmese Gu masters were really strange enough.
I continued to look out, but this time I was much more careful, I avoided all the paths of the nearby Gu fires in advance, and looked down carefully, and sure enough, I found that there were many figures moving back and forth under the many trees.
It's those Burmese Gu Masters!
However, the way they sent out the Gu Fire was not to use the Gu Musket, but to use a larger-caliber device similar to a cannon.
It seems that these Gu masters also understand that technology is combat power, and those small tricks in their hands alone are not enough to fight against the Qianqian energy of the entire sky.
These Gu fires had already torn a huge gap in the clouds in the sky at this time, and a large amount of sunlight directly hit it, finally alleviating some of the gloom here.
I've noticed that a lot of Burmese Gu Masters have actually noticed the three cable cars in our sky, and I can clearly sense their hostility, and it seems that they want to take the cable car down, but they have to give up on us for the time being due to Qianqian's energy constraints.
I'm a little glad that the current Qianqian and these Burmese Gu Masters are largely restrained from each other, and it's better for them to keep going like this, so that we can have more time and space to act.
Under the control of the first generation of test subjects, the cable car swept through this area of Gu fire at the fastest speed, and the moment we left this area, I faintly saw a lot of energy creatures passing through the woods and rushing straight towards the location of those Burmese Gu masters, it seems that my previous guess was correct, Qianqian did dispatch all the energy creatures she could control to fight back against the invasion of the Burmese Gu masters.
From this point of view, the influence of Qianqian's energy was not enough to form an overwhelming advantage for the time being, and even so many dozens of Burmese Gu Masters couldn't quickly solve it......
Ten minutes later, the speeding cable car reached the next starting point, which was not so good, the entire site was almost flattened, rubble and clods were everywhere, and I saw quite a few corpses.
It was the corpses of some wanderers, their bodies torn to shreds, and I could only tell by their clothes.
It seems that they should have been killed by some large and vicious Gu creatures, and it was because their bodies were completely mutilated that even Qianqian couldn't "resurrect" them.
The wanderers were clearly planning to escape by cable car, as I also saw several broken cable cars scattered around the corpses.
However, when I looked further, I was surprised to find that there were still some strange bird corpses nearby, the same big bird that attacked us at the Saint Maiden Peak before!
It turned out that the "large and vicious Gu creatures" were these birds, but I didn't expect them to be so fierce...... Can you tear people to pieces? I can't imagine what happens when I get close to those strange birds...... Also thanks to the little children around me at that time, they collectively repelled them with energy.
Moon Ling coughed a few times at this time, urging me not to waste time, now that no man's land is near us, we only need to walk some distance down the hill where this starting point is located to reach our destination.
